II'P 1111) 1i PREFACE Over the years the Structures and Materials Panel has been concerned with the problems of gas turbine engine materials. The Panel sponsored a co-operative testing programme to analyse and predict low cycle high temperature fatigue life and this was the topic for a Specialists' Meeting, namely: "Characterisation of Low Cycle High Temperature Fatigue by the Strain Range Partitioning Method" (Aalborg 1978. AGARD CP-2431. Another approach was the use of ceramics, discussed at a Specialists' Meeting entitled: "Ceramics for Gas Turbine Applications" (Porz-Wahn (Cologne) 1979, AGARD CP-276). While it was felt that these Meetings had achieved their purpose for their specialist audiences, there remained a gap to be bridged between the experience and information of the maint'yvance engineer and what thc materials specialist iii tLc re'earcl laboratory could , ffer. This Specialists' Meeting on the "Maintenance in Service of High Temperature Parts" wa: con- ceived as a two way exchange between maintenance experience and materials science. It was felt that AGARD should be involved because all NATO countries faced common problems in the increasing costs of engine maintenance and the scarcity "f strategic materials. Many of the problem areas were likely to have a common base in relation to service experience and materials behaviour characteristics, so that an exchange of views should benefit both the research and maintenance communities. The collected proceedings and the discussion sessions endeavour to provide such an advantage to those involved in materials for gas turbine engines. On behalf of the Structures and Materials Panel I would like to express my thanks to all authors, recorders. session chairmen and participants. In particular I appreciated the help of the members of the Sub-Committee on the Maintenance of High Temperature Parts when I btcame Chairman and that of Mr George C. Deutsch who, though retired, returned to conduct the final technical and discussion session of the Meeting. I-..FANNER.

AGARD Structures and Materials Panel. Traditionally the 5\Mi' has concentrated on problem, related to the airframe rather than the engine. Even at its first meeting in Ottawa.

Materials for Use at Flevaied Temperatures were the main topic. but again the lecture' that were held had basically the airframe in mind: this in spite of the fact that considerable attention was paid te, titanium and its alloy.s.

  • Materials for Gas Turbines – an Overview
    13 Materials for Gas Turbines – An Overview Nageswara Rao Muktinutalapati VIT University India 1. Introduction Advancements made in the field of materials have contributed in a major way in building gas turbine engines with higher power ratings and efficiency levels. Improvements in design of the gas turbine engines over the years have importantly been due to development of materials with enhanced performance levels. Gas turbines have been widely utilized in aircraft engines as well as for land based applications importantly for power generation. Advancements in gas turbine materials have always played a prime role – higher the capability of the materials to withstand elevated temperature service, more the engine efficiency; materials with high elevated temperature strength to weight ratio help in weight reduction. A wide spectrum of high performance materials - special steels, titanium alloys and superalloys - is used for construction of gas turbines. Manufacture of these materials often involves advanced processing techniques. Other material groups like ceramics, composites and inter-metallics have been the focus of intense research and development; aim is to exploit the superior features of these materials for improving the performance of gas turbine engines. The materials developed at the first instance for gas turbine engine applications had high temperature tensile strength as the prime requirement. This requirement quickly changed as operating temperatures rose. Stress rupture life and then creep properties became important. In the subsequent years of development, low cycle fatigue (LCF) life became another important parameter. Many of the components in the aero engines are subjected to fatigue- and /or creep-loading, and the choice of material is then based on the capability of the material to withstand such loads.

Structural Analysis, Thermal Analysis. ABSTRACT The turbine blades are responsible for extracting energy from the high temperature gas produced by the combustor. Operating the gas turbine blade at high temperatures would provide better efficiency and maximum work output. These turbine blades are required to withstand large centrifugal forces, elevated temperatures and are operated in aggressive environments. To survive in this difficult environment, turbine blades often made from exotic materials. A key limiting factor in gas turbine engines is the performance of the materials available for the hot section of the engine especially the gas turbine blades. In this paper, three materials such as Nimonic alloy, Super alloy and titanium aluminium have been considered for the purpose of performance analysis. The turbine blade under evaluation belongs to the first stage rotor blade of a two -stage gas turbine. The turbine blade data was obtained using CMM and its 3D solid model is created by using CATIA V5R21software.

  • Superalloys, the Most Successful Alloy System of Modern Times-Past, Present, and Future
    SUPERALLOYS, THE MOST SUCCESSFUL ALLOY SYSTEM OF MODERN TIMES - PAST, PRESENT AND FUTURE Art Kracke Vice President Business Technology ATI Allvac Abstract The deep roots of superalloys go back to 1907, although the term ‘super-alloy’ is believed to have first been used in the mid 1940s to refer to cobalt-base alloys such as Vitallium and nickel- base Waspaloy®. During the past 50 years, much alloy, hot working, heat treating and process development has occurred, enabling many of the end use technologies we know today. This presentation will discuss some of the history of the superalloy industry related to the superalloys 718, Waspaloy and their derivatives, including ATI 718Plus® alloy. The presentation will then describe the wide range of manufacturing techniques used for the production of superalloys, available product forms and end-use applications. Concluding the presentation will be a discussion on what advancements we are likely to see in the future. Introduction Superalloys are successful today because they have solved pressing demands for durability and strength in machines and systems that were barely imaginable a hundred years ago. Superalloys have helped us conquer air and space, plumb the depths of the earth and ocean, and address many other challenges of modern life. As such, they deserve to have their story told. The nature of this industry, however, makes the telling a challenging task. Its history is one of many small events and inventions that took place across the boundaries of nations, industries and countries. Many individuals contributed to the state of the art today, and only a few left their names in the scattered records.

Johnston Lewis Flight Propulsion Laboratory Cleveland, Ohio NATIONAL ADVISORY COMMITTEE FOR AERONAUTICS WASHINGTON April 5) 1955 Declassified February 8) 1957 " NACA RM E55A21 NATIONAL ADVISORY COMMITTEE FOR AERONAUTICS RESEARCH MEMORANDUM ENGINE PERFORMANCE OF PRECISION-FORGED, ELECTROPOLI SHED , AND MACHINED BLADES OF NIMONIC'SO AND SOA ALLOYS By Paul F. Sikora and James R. Johnston SUMMARY An investigation was conducted to determine the effect of electro­ polishing precision-forged blades and of machining blades from oversize forgings on the engine performance of Nimonic SO and Nimonic BOA turbine blades. These blades, along with precision-forged blades, were run in a J33-9 turbojet engine . The tests resulted in the following conclusions : (1) Electropolishing of precision-forged blades did not improve engine life relative to the life of nonelectropolished blades . (2) Machining blades from oversize forgings did not improve the engine life of precision- forged blades . (3) The precision-forging and heat-treating practice used in fabricating the blades investigated was such that the surface roughness and oxide penetration was so slight, approximately 0 .0005 inch in depth, as to preclude any benefits derived from surface removal by electro­ polishing or machining . INTRODUCTION Nickel-base alloys , such as Nimonic SO and BOA, have been shown to be susceptible to surface oxidation (refs . 1 to 3) . In addition, the cold-worked edges, recrystallized areas, and depletion zones that form at the surfaces of these alloys prior to or during high-temperature use are considered harmful .
